Waste Fuel Removal

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Now I'm not so enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just left the family after eating a wonderful Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his metallic red Alfa Romeo164. He was only in Stanlow so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any kind of problems because of running it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so one more happy motorist had the ability to continue his journey without any hassle. The guy did not stop thanking me, and that helps make earning a living on Sundays in Cheshire just a tiny bit easier for me!
